Krag Collectors Association Forum

Sure sounds fishy to me. With a Presidential election coming up and Obama getting hot on Gun Control, I'm all for securing the membership list.

My perspective is 2015. With Original Krag rifles getting scarcer every day, it seems a shame that any of them were used for experimentation. While a pump action Krag may be a novel idea, I don't see any practicality in this design. Most pump and lever guns have the advantage of reloading the chambe...

This is way beyond "Bubba". It is an abomination! The guy who did this to a perfectly good Krag should be summarily executed at sunup.
